NOTE: I have mentioned before that I am weird. I see the world differently than everyone else on the planet, I think. So, just wanted to remind you of that before you read this particular post… A friend of ours told us last night that their ten-year-old son will soon be baptized. That was great…

Illusions
My dad sent me an email forward today (which, sorry Dad… sometimes I just skip over…) 🙂 But, today I checked this one out with Ian, who happened to be in the office with me. These three were pretty cool! Is It Moving… Or Not?!?Focus on the dots in the middle of these circles. Then…
The Penguin Game
Remember this game? I posted a link on the blog here a long time ago. I also posted my high score in the comments. I rediscovered the game tonight and could not get more than 323.3! Give it a try if you dare. I think this game is the most addictive video game I have…
More Perma-Jube® Thoughts
Several have taken the Perma-Jube® designation and run with that, so I think I will continue to use that when referring to my generally optimistic, trusting outlook on people and life. I have a few more thoughts I have been pondering this weekend, that I think relate to my previous posts My Glass Is Half-Full,…
Apple Camp
I think I mentioned on this page that Ian (our oldest) got to be part of two Apple Camp sessions this July. What’s Apple Camp, you ask? I’m glad you asked! It was awesome! The Apple Retail Stores did a 2-3 hour “courses” on various fun aspects of the Mac – movies, podcasts, websites, music…
Sleepy
One more thing… I think it’s amazingly cool that I had to go wake every one of my family members up at 9:20am! Ha! Well, all are up now and we’re ready to go! GO BILLS!! (PS… to be fair, Jen had to get up with the baby at 5:42 last night… so… she does…
My Glass Is Half-Full
Thinking more about what I wrote last night, I remembered another train of thought that I have been processing recently. I have been trying to figure out again why I seem to have more of a positive take on the world and humanity than most every other human being I know. A friend of mine…
Was It Something I Said?
Over the past week or two, I have had this feeling more times than I would like to admit. That feeling of unsettledness. Something is wrong, but you can’t quite single out the exact cause. You feel it in your stomach. A bit in your throat perhaps. And nothing fits together in life. Everything is…
A La Carte TV
Perhaps you will recall when I mentioned the idea I sent to Apple about offering Cable TV channels “a la carte”, much like they have done with music on iTunes. Well, this was before iTunes was selling videos, and before the Mac Mini was designed for the living room. I am sure that Apple had…
Steve Jobs’ Keynote from the WWDC
You may not know what the WWDC is, but if you use computers, you should check out this hour long presentation. It’s a quicktime streaming video of the keynote speech given yesterday morning at the World Wide Developers Conference (those are the people who make all the software for your computer). If you’re a Mac…
